I’ve enjoyed the games, and there’s nothing exciting about a tackle around the shoulders, but that was a farce.

The solution is so simple: accidental contact is play on. Contact through negligence is a penalty. Contact through recklessness is yellow or red depending on the amount of force used. Intentional is red.

They’ve massively over-complicated it.

But accidental contact can’t be anything other than a mitigating factor, but if you over-mechanise the decision-making process, the whole game becomes about refereeing it rather than playing it. The penalty try decision was 20 seconds longer than it had to be because Liam Moore felt the urge to explain it.

Always thought they would, and good to see.

The reduction in heat tests is noticeable, and makes for a better spectacle. A good shoulder into the ribs is better than a grapple round the shoulders any day. The game will get quicker in summer, with players finding their fronts more often.

Going back years, it was always round the legs and chest. The shoulder focus is more recent and hasn't really improved the game.
